Pastor Dennis Singini USA Tour for WorldHope Malawi

Man on a Mission

August 1, 2016

Dear Friends of WorldHope Corps:

It gives me great pleasure to announce the appointment of Dennis Singini as Country Representative and Program Director, WorldHope Malawi!

For ten years, since 2006, I’ve been a ‘Man on a Mission to Malawi’ to help AIDS orphans, provide Hope Scholarships, and drill village wells in
Malawi.This year, rather than returning
to Malawi, I’ll help a ‘Man on a Mission from
Malawi’ raise funds for WorldHope Malawi—our partner organization he now leads.

Pastor Dennis Singini served
for 6 years as Program Director for CitiHope International’s USAID Food for
Peace/Malawi program, and for several years as an Assistant Protocol Officer in
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Malawi.As CR for WHC, Dennis will continue as pastor of Rumphi Bible Believers’
Church and oversee other rural congregations in Northern Malawi.

I have known Dennis since 2006, we have worked together on many projects, and he is a man after God's own heart.

To inaugurate Dennis’s new role, and help him raise funds, I am pleased
to partner with Ms. Josie Dittrich (former CitiHope staff member and film/ documentary
producer) to sponsor Pastor Dennis for a 7-week, 10-city, training and
fund-raising tour in the USA (Aug. 8 – Sept 26, 2016). I invite you to connect
with him during this time, and help him raise his local ministry budget for
2017 (to fund core programs of water and sanitation, HIV/AIDS Training, Shalom
Training, Hope Scholarships and Social Business projects).

Josie generously covered the cost of Dennis’ international travel.Rob Robbins will sponsor Dennis for a
one-week, intensive business course in Strategic Planning at Liberty
University. Gaius Charles will sponsor Dennis for advance Shalom Training at
the CCDA Conference in Los Angeles. Local hosts will schedule local speaking/training events, provide lodging, meals, and local ground travel for Dennis while he is in each area (see tentative schedule and
local hosts attached).

We still need co-sponsors to help cover Dennis’s domestic travel in the
USA (approximately $1,000). Dennis's #1 goal is to raise $10,000 to cover WorldHope Malawi core programs in 2017 (water and sanitation training, mosquito net distribution, and educational support for youth). That breaks down to $1000 in each city he visits. He has more than 10 hosts, so each one of us should introduce him to, say, ten friends who may be willing to donate $100 (or $10/month). Churches and organizations, of course, will be able to do more. Once we cover core programs, we can help Dennis raise another $10,000 for special projects of particular interest to major donors (e.g. social business projects such as another chicken business or water store). Please consider a special gift this month, and share this letter with others in your circle of influence. Look over Dennis' travel schedule and let me know if you have friends in one of the cities he will visit so that we can invite them to an event. Again, our base need is to raise $10,000 in 10 cities, in 7 weeks. I believe we will do it, but "it takes a village." Together, we can help Dennis find new donors, raise his budget, experience regional culture, see old friends, meet new ones,
and generally enjoy his preaching and fund-raising tour of the USA.Thank you!
